Imagine Bell Canyon
My name is Laicee and my daughter Emilee has the best teacher in the WORLD. There are not enough words to explain what kind of teacher she is. Emilee was having problems due to not having the right teacher the year before. When Emilee entered Mrs Gokools class she was way behind when they did testing she was one of the ones where she was at a 0. In just a matter of 3 months my daughter has gone from 0's to almost being where the other children are. I have never known a teacher to go out of their way the way she does. When the school hours are over they do not end for her. When I have had concerns or a question I would email her thinking I would hear from her the following day, but no, she will contact me no matter what time of day it is. She knows that these children are the future as she told me "I need to make sure they succeed because when I am old they are the ones that will be taking care of me, if I don’t do my job then they will not have a chance in life. I know there are many teachers out there, but this one out shines them all. This school goes to the 8th grade if they would allow her to move with the kids then Emilee would stay in her class the whole way. To be one 100% honest I was going to take Emilee out of the school and because of her my husband and I made the choice to keep her there. If I was to ever move and if I could I would pack her up and take her with us. This teacher gives beyond 100% she deserves this more than anyone I have ever known, even my whole education experience. If you choose her you will not be disappointed.
